panetta: thank you. i appreciate my colleague's leadership, especially now when i think all of us, all of us in congress and this country are experiencing tough times. experiencing an aggressive executive branch, responsive judicial branch but here on capitol hill we're experiencing a sub missive, a destructive, an ineffective and irresponsible republican majority. in the legislative branch. they're submissive because they just put forward a budget resolution is deeply harmful proposals just to fulfill the trump agenda that will help the well off, hurt working families and harm the economy. this plan starts with extending the 2017 tax cuts at a tune of $5 trillion. then it increases spending in military and homeland defense at a price of $00 billion. then they've got to figure out how to enact trump's political promises of tax exempt tip, overtime and social security benefits at a cost of $3 trillion. but the most destructive part of the plan, as you heard from my colleagues is how they think they're goi

he said there was no better servant for america then norman panetta. thought like what a legacy to leave. not that he was the best member of the democratic party or norm agreed to do whatever i told him . norm was the most loyal to my views his view was that there was no better servant for america and what an incredible thing to be known for. host: one of the s i had forgotten was his friendship with alan simpson, getting a letter. remember that fat kid from the pup tent? guest: this story really amuses me. alan simpson becomes the united states senator. by the way, he is still alive as of today. he is still alive. he is in his 90's. this is a great example of how history is not that long ago. he grew up in wyoming and belonged to a boy scout troop and his boy scout leader said to the families of wyoming that we are going to go inside this camp, which they called interment camps, not a correct name really, but that is what they called them. we are going to go inside these camps and have a little boy scout jamboree. and many of the families on the outsi

panetta: you don't have imports? ms. silver: probably we have some bearings with the majority of raw material is made here. rep. panetta: if you had run imports and they were subject to tariffs they would lead to price increases, correct? ms. silver: correct. rep. panetta: would you want to pay for the tcja with those price increases? ms. silver: we are part of the global supply chain and i would want congress to tailor policy so we could continue to participate in that and be competitive. rep. panetta: with that include price increases on imports for you, is that what you want? ms. silver: i don't want price increases for anything. >> i think we will take one more and then recess. rep. moore: thank you for being here, and there isn't a more important conversation to be having right now. i appreciate my colleagues on the democrat side, we need to have a focus on deficit and continue to have that, it's been absent since my time in congress to see policy driving forward to do that. we need a strong economy and a strong eco

so, secretary panetta, when you hear all of this vice president vance, meeting with the leader of the far right german afd today for 30 minutes did not meet with olaf schulz, uh, that party, you know, we went through some of the some of the things that stand out members have been convicted for using nazi rhetoric, a court finding that youth group involved with the party engaged in massive anti-foreign agitation. the message here, secretary, appears to be loud and clear. >> well, it, uh. >> it certainly is concerning. uh, you know, having been to the munich conference a number of times, uh, usually when a vice president or president goes to the munich conference, uh, he discusses the importance of security between the united states and our european allies in order to make sure that tyrants like putin don't take advantage of europe. uh, even if vance had gone there and criticized our european friends for perhaps not investing enough in defense, i think that's a legitimate criticism. but to get involved in their internal politics, uh, particularly where it involves, uh, a very right wing

is really about. >> secretary panetta, i'm grateful for your time. thank you. >> thank you. >> and next, we have breaking news. the u.s. justice department, an update here. the disarray continues. a seventh prosecutor resigns after refusing to dismiss the crucial new york city mayor eric adams corruption case. and we are now learning that the doj under trump is getting what it wants. wait until you hear what has just happened. plus, missing in action, elon musk promised to provide a detailed list of the savings he's racked up by today. as of now 713 eastern, the list is still mia. and an outfront exclusive. i'm going to speak to the kayaker who was swallowed and then spit out by a whale. what happened when he was inside the mouth of that whale? well, he's going to tell you. >> liberty. liberty mutual is all she talks about. since we saved hundreds by bundling our home and auto insurance. >> hey. >> kid. >> it's pronounced. >> liberty. >> liberty. >> liberty. >> liberty. >> liberty. >> liberty. >> liberty. >> liberty. >> now she's mocking me. >> very

speaker, i want to thank representatives mann and panetta for leading this commonsense solution. investing in future farm families strengthens rural communities and our country. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from south carolina seek recognition? mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. wilson: thank you, mr. speaker. governor henry mcmaster just gave the south carolina state of the state address. i'm grateful that under his leadership the palmetto state has achieved an historic year, with over $8 billion in capital investment creating 5,500 new jobs. additionally, his goal three years ago to drop the state personal income tax rate has exceeded expectations. the tax rate continues to be reduced helping taxpayers. i am appreciative to be working with governor mcmasters, a republican super majorities, for the first time in 150 years in the

and i spoke with former defense secretary leon panetta earlier tonight, and he told me that the way that the administration and the president are handling this is not, in his words, not peace through strength, but whether the u.s. capitulating to putin and to whatever his views are on this war, it is something that russian state tv acknowledged just this week. and we've got a clip of that. >> trump. press conference. >> when. >> trump is answering questions about. >> the press. >> conference. >> i. >> think it. is not a coincidence that many of the narratives that are being. >> voiced largely. >> materialized after their conversation. >> on the. >> phrases he. >> is saying are. so deep and so correct. >> they are in. >> total alignment. >> with the way we see things. >> in total alignment with the way we see things. jill. just the dynamics between putin and trump here, that is just such a huge piece of all of this. >> well, it is notable, certainly, jessica, that some of the very things that the american president is saying, the russian president said and other russian officials and i di

joining us now, former defense secretary and cia director under president obama, leon panetta. thank you so much for being here with us. i want to pick up there in ukraine, and i want to get your reaction to president zelenskyy's suggestion that he'd be willing to step down in exchange for nato membership for his country. >> well, he's he's obviously trying to see if. >> there's a way. >> to be able to arrive at some kind of peaceful solution here. look, the fundamental problem here is that. ukraine has fought to protect their country. they've spilled blood in order to stop the russians from invading their country. and the fact is that the ukrainians, as a result of that, deserve a place at the table. you can't negotiate peace without having, uh, the country that has been invaded actually be part of those negotiations. and unfortunately, that's not what's going on right now. and it's creating a very confused and chaotic situation with regards to where we go. >> and do you see that situation that you just described, negotiations with ukraine at the table as a realistic possibili

and let's talk about this more with leon panetta. he served as defense secretary under president obama, and he served in many, many other roles across administrations. i do want to see what you think, secretary, about. and there is a pause. we again, have to emphasize that. but these planned terminations that were expected to impact 50,000 plus civilian employees, we should note many of these are veterans at the pentagon. they go from service and then often switch over into civilian service at the pentagon. what are your concerns about the possibility of losing their expertise? >> i think, uh, i think. we're at a very dangerous time where, uh, i'm afraid that these mixed signals and chaos and disruption coming out of the administration are weakening our country. i mean, the reality is that there is a process to look at whether or not there are employees that are critical to our readiness. that's a process they should have engaged in before they made any recommendations. but instead they went ahead and talked about 50,000 employees ge

de hecho, es muy amigo de panetta de 0 miedo y celébralo., no? porque antes, en otros años no era lo mismo, no? entonces para un luchador. imagínate que. que salgan con tu máscara o que toquen el. en el fútbol, la gente, los aficionados se ponen sus máscaras y es muy satisfactorio ver a un rey mysterio, a gente que que ha que ha traspasado las fronteras y que ha traspasado muchos, muchos límites, que que que no se tenía, no. en otros tiempos. y entonces da mucho orgullo, no? que toquen ese tema. pero bueno, para nosotros realmente es un placer tenerle aquí a toda institución de la lucha libre, de lo que significa la lucha libre en méxico. entonces ha sido un placer tenerlo acá, don josé. muchas gracias carlos. pues un saludo a todos los televidentes y los esperamos mañana. mañana los esperamos para que vayan a echar gritos ahí. pues ahí lo tiene otra vez una institución de la lucha libre mexicana de don josé casas. y nosotros vamos a ir a una pausa. regresamos con más? claro que sí. gracias por la invitación. y al regresar, estudiantes mexic

i worked hard for, you know, the democratic party for a democratic senator for leon panetta. and so it was really shocking the way they came after me. what i did do in 2019 was i spoke out because of my experience working in the senate with joe biden. i had certain knowledge, and i said if joe biden was elected, he would bring us to a war against russia. and he did that particular interview went viral and of course i received a lot of blow back for that. but i stand by what i said and obviously came through and i've also, you know, know, and the corruption of the bite and family for a long time. the fact that he just pardoned all of his family, but he couldn't turn himself. so i'm hopeful that this will hold him in some light and some accountable. and i don't think my case was the only one. there are other whistleblowers that have been targeted like me, you know, and i think one of the more recent examples of that was just after the rage against the war machine. i had been a speaker with chelsea gabbert and some other people and i was in new york city briefly and i was almost

i would move that the committee making to order amendment number 43 offered by representative panetta, which replaces the budget's gdp estimates. with the gdp estimates from the cbo's baseline, we heard extended discussion of this topic when our witnesses were here because republicans are playing games with the metrics used to score their budget bill so they can hide that their bill would explode both the deficit and the debt they're using made up numbers for gdp growth that no one, not the congressional budget office, not wall street and that no reputable economist thinks is possible. this is important because it means that republicans can lie about the pay for us for their tax giveaway to billionaires. they can hand wave and say that future tax revenues will be higher because economic growth will be higher. but it's nothing more than wishful thinking that misleads the public about the real cost of this dangerous budget plan. this amendment is simple. it would swap out the bogus gdp numbers in the budget resolution and replace those numbers with the cbo's numbers, which are in line w
